2. Bengala vs Andrade "Cien" Almas
Bengala makes his way to the ring with his knee heavily taped after the chair assault from Dr Wagner Jr last show. He doesn't do his customary Rope flip entrance tonight. Andrade heads to the ring with a swagger. He takes note of the bandaged leg and asks for a microphone. He tells Bengala that he is a generous man. He will allow Bengala to forfeit tonight being that he is obviously injured. But he warns him, if he decides to try to fight he will finish that bad leg off.
Bengala thinks it over the fans are saying no. But Bengala knows he isn't 100%. He decides to lay down in the ring. Andrade smiles like a cheshire cat. He covers him. 1.. 2.. Bengala hooks him into a Crucifix Cradle!!! 1.. 2...
NOOO!!!. Almas pops up but is met with a Super Kick. Bridging German! 1.. 2.. NO! Shining Wizard! Andrade kicks out again. He rolls under the ropes. He is stnding but wobbly. Bengala hits the ropes... Tornillo (Corkscrew suicide dive). Bengala landed a little funny on that spectacular move and is grabbing his knee. But he stays on almas chopping him to the chest. then Almas out of nowhere just kicks the bad knee of Bengala. He crumples to the floor in pain. Almas is incensed and is furiously stomping the knee on the masked man. He sends him back in and works it some more. Then he applies a half crab. The fans are chanting. "Please don't Tap" But it looks like he will have no choice. But with one final feat of strength he escapes the hold. Almas gives him a Discus back elbow smash. Then sets him up for La Sombra. But Bengala counters into a Northern Lights Suplex! 1.. 2.. NOOOO!!! He dropkicks Almas who stumbles to the corner. He hits a Handspring back elbow. Shoves Andrade to the mat and goes for Colmillos de Tigre(Double jump springboard moonsault). But his bad knee gives out and he hits the mat head first as he is hanging in the buckle. Almas secures him in the Tree of Woe. Then goes out and gets a steel chair. He begins pounding away at the injured knee. With each sickening thud the crowd grimaces and moans. Finally he stops. releases Bengala and applies an inverted Figure Four Leglock. Bengala has to tap immediately.
Winner: Andrade "Cien" Almas
(Fans are not happy with the result and are chanting "Culelo" at Almas but he cares not. He leaves with a big smile. Meanwhile Bengala needs medical attention and Tigre Uno has come out to help him as well as he is catred out.)
